Terra Cotta Skyline – Venice & Kotor from Ancona

About this cruise

No complicated itinerary, no back-to-back transfers, just the ports, the ship, and the sea in between. This 7-night sailing from Ancona on July 16, 2027 visits Venice, Kotor, Mykonos and Syros. The 2 sea days in between leave time for the pool, the spa, or whatever else you feel like doing between ports. The Eastern Mediterranean route takes in Italy, Montenegro and Greece, 3 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. Keep an eye out for Venice: A floating masterpiece of marble and light. Port time is tight at about 8 hours each. Pick your favourites and save the rest for another trip. MSC Lirica keeps you well fed. 5 places to eat, with 4 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. This length suits most people. Enough time to settle in and actually unwind, without the trip dragging on. If you can, add a night in Ancona before boarding. It's a good city to wander. The timing works well too: warm evenings on deck, late sunsets, and a lively atmosphere. That's 7 nights well spent.
